SAFETY NOTICE
AND REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
BLACKHAWK! SERPA Level 3 Light Bearing Duty Holsters
(Manufactured Before October 2011)
BLACKHAWK! has received reports of SERPA LIGHT BEARING duty holsters detaching from their
mounting platform under certain conditions. This generally occurs if the user damages the material
surrounding the screw insert (see picture below) by using extreme force when tightening the mounting
screws or by mounting the holster using incorrect or missing screws. In addition, a small number of
LIGHT BEARING holsters manufactured in March-June of 2009 may contain parts that can contribute
to this condition.
To see if your holster is affected, remove the mounting platform and inspect the back. DO NOT USE
your Light Bearing holster if either of the following apply:

Mounting Insert

Although this condition only affects a limited number of holsters, to prevent future damage from occurring
BLACKHAWK! recommends you replace your holster, and is offering a free upgrade for all owners of
SERPA LIGHT BEARING holsters manufactured before October 2011. If your LIGHT BEARING
holster qualifies under this program, visit www.blackhawk.com and follow the instructions, e-mail

For all holsters, BLACKHAWK! would like to remind its customers to never use a holster with a missing
mounting screw and to never use the longer screw without the spacer in place.
